Apache CloudStack Weekly News - 10 July 2013

We are into deep work on 4.2.0 and need your help in making the grade. There's a lot of interesting discussions going on into the community about the next generation of CloudStack and functionality we can provide as well as some procedural adjustments everyone should be aware of.

News Moving to Wednesdays

To help get information out a little more timely to key discussions and information that is going on in the community we are going to move the publishing of the weekly news to Wednesdays starting with this issue on July 10th!

Major Discussions

In this section we look at major discussions that have happened on the CloudStack mailing lists. This is by no means a full summary of all discussions on the lists, but we try to hit the highlights that are relevant to the larger CloudStack community.
